Living Out Love Podcast: Recent Episodes
Sam
Living Out Love: a podcast about learning to love like Jesus. Jesus told his disciples to "love each other as I have loved you - this is how people will know you're my followers." And yet, "loving" wouldn't be the first word that comes to many peoples' minds when they think of Christians. We're on a mission to change that, and that change starts with us. Join Sam, Rick, and Sarah as we figure out how to love others who don't think like you, how to find common ground with people from different backgrounds, and how to follow the greatest commandment of loving God and loving people. We are not the experts - but we hope that as we're learning, you'll learn with us and gain some helpful tools for loving others along the way!
In this episode we have a special guest, author Morgan Ellis of Rest for the Weary Mama.

This episode is great and her book is available at the end of this month and her podcast and social media contacts are in here as well.
This week Rick shares about his mission trip to Detroit and how on the mission trip they got to love others in a unique way. They di prayer walks and other activities to connect and love others.

As we continue in the famous wedding verse: 1 Cor 13:4, we look at how love does not keep a record of wrongs. This is a challenge for all of us.

Once again, we are in this series on 1 Cor 13:4. We are looking at this famous verse and how love has so many components. In addition, it tells us what love is not. It is not easily angered.
